The A2A Simulations Community

I found this thread over at flighsim.com on how to edit the default GPS so it shows the terrain topography
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthrea ... -Shadowing

Is it possible to edit the A2A map so it does the same ?
I dont think it would be unrealistic, most maps show the topography rather than a plain outline of the terrain anyway.

I've had a look at the xml file for the A2A Cubs map but I'm way over my head trying to work it out.

I got it working, goes to figure that I'd work it out myself after asking about it

If you want to try this on your Cub or any other A2A plane here's how.
(DONT FORGET TO BACKUP FIRST)
Browse to "Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\A2A_PiperJ3\panel\a2a_piperj3"
Right click mapscreen.xml and choose edit, it will open in notepad.

Scroll down until you find

You need to insert a piece of code so it look like

Close and save the file and go test fly.

This should work for the maps in any of the A2A planes.
It also works for the default G1000, the TerrainShadow parameter already exists, you just need to set the <Value>0</Value> to <Value>1</Value>
